Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs Celtic<\/h2>\n

How Bayern Munich Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Unlike in previous matches, coach Vincent Kompany opted to change the previous lineup only in one position. That had to do with the fact that there was a rare six-day break between the last two games. Against Werder Bremen, the Bavarians lined up as follows: Manuel Neuer began in goal.<\/p>\n

The backline was made up of the fullbacks Sacha Boey and Raphael Guerreiro, along with the centre-backs Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae. The holding midfielders were Aleksandar Pavlovic and Joshua Kimmich.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman, and Harry Kane remained in the front four. The lone change compared to the previous lineup was that Boey came in for a start after his long injury absence, as Konrad Laimer made way.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n

The team have won every competitive match since the winter break, except for that 3-0 debacle against Feyenoord on matchday 7 of the Champions League league phase. This result ultimately cost them a direct ticket to the Round of 16, causing them to have to play the extra round against the Scottish champions.<\/p>\n

Tactically, the 4-2-3-1 will continue to be the way to go. It is good that Bayern were able to pick up a clean sheet against Bremen, after having conceded so many goals recently. Celtic certainly have the tools to hurt the Bundesliga leaders, especially at home.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n

Daniel Peretz, Hiroki Ito, and Alphonso Davies remain injured, as Joao Palhinha is out with an illness.<\/p>\n
